left Austin for his home at Spring Valley

q short visit to eastern markets in pursuit
of new summer attractions their al
ready most complete assortment of dry
goods. Watch for. the ad in our next

which happened at the mill that day.

Editor Luce of the Albert Lea Enter.
prise was in Austin last week, and called
on us. Came v to see how the boom
was progressing, and see if Day had lied
about the street cars. Came in on Col
Mansfield's bus, which he thought was
the best street car he had struck in many
a day, and wished Albert Lea had some
like it. He planted his feet right on the
table. and proceeded to be sociable. while

informs us that the Farmers Fire and
Storm Mutual Insurance Company OF
MowerCounty is in a far more prosperous
and healthy condition than ever before,

if the farmers would but take hold and
give it their support. You will find q card
